Fastmarkets reviews

With growing influence of the Pe, upper management, particularly the Sales director , a stick rather than carrot approach became far preferred and micromanaging ran rampant. By the time I left we had 3 internal team meetings a week all with the purpose of understanding what we were doing to affect success and the responsibility of making 2 slides that summarised this. These meetings were in addition to my 1-2-1. Tone of meetings with upper management became more threatening as the sales director impinged on the role of the team manager. There was once a 1hr meeting exploring how out of cycle bookings were not enough, despite the majority of the team being at target or in the 90s % wise, the main message being that “no one is indispensable”. Overall not inspiring messaging from upper management and at worse actively demotivating.

One area where the company falls short is salary competitiveness; I don't believe current compensation reflects the market value for my role and others. Moreover, career development opportunities are unclear. After a significant period in my current position, there's still no visibility into potential next steps or established career paths within the organization.
